I hope as many as it takes for their delusion to shatter their reality

Pretty brave of them considering the only thing keeping Israel from being steamrolled is their ability to say "my friend will beat you up" and the sentiment in said "friend" is turned on them so fast Trump endorsed Republicans and AIPAC funded Democrats just lost last night in Florida.

By the 2030s, could be the US values NATO more than they value a proxy state/military base in the Middle East.

Then what do they have? Damn near every nation and group from Northern Africa to Southern Europe and as far East as the Himalayas ready to pounce?

If Israel attacks Turkey, a NATO ally, would Europe respond? 

To put it bluntly no. A lot of Western Europe has allegiances to Isreal because of political relationships over the years. 

Nobody will intervene against them whatsoever unless they actively sent ground forces to start a war into a European country. That’s the only reason anyone will ever stop them.

Mostly out of a fear of world war, that’s the general rule, avoid world wars at all cost. But Israel clearly wants to wipe out any Muslim centric country. Even if they took over Palestine we wouldn’t intervene.

Hypothetically they could take over every country in the Middle East and Africa and we wouldn’t care until it expanded into Europe or larger Asia.

Basically we don’t respond until wars are started on first world country superpowers like Western Europe, North America, China or Russia.

It was the same in WW2, we knew to some degree what the Nazis were doing in Germany, but we didn’t act until they moved ground troops into Poland. Because that’s the general rule at the UN, they ONLY consider action if you send in ground forces. It’s how most nations get away with wars, because they’re primarily fought through bombings. It’s a loophole.
